Reform of Poverty Alleviation Programs and Human Capital Development

closed

The program's objectives are to improve the quality of social expenditures and increase equity in social spending against a decentralization backdrop, and to strengthen the social safety net protecting the poorest of the poor. This will be achieved by assuring adequate funding levels, modifying the system used to allocate resources via direct transfers and transfers delivered through social investment programs, promoting the use of a household identification system, optimizing school feeding and nutrition programs, and developing a system to monitor expenditure quality. As one way of bolstering the social safety net, the program will help reconfigure the A Trabajar Urbano temporary employment creation program to have it operate counter cyclically.
